Development of the F-15 began in the late 1960s by McDonnell Douglas as an air superiority fighter for the U.S. Air Force. With its dogfighting capabilities thoroughly pursued, it features large-area wings and two vertical stabilizers that emphasize maneuverability at around Mach 0.9, a powerful Pratt \u0026 Whitney F-100 turbofan engine with a thrust of 7348 kg, and excellent offensive capabilities and fire control systems, demonstrating its world-class performance in the 1991 Gulf War. The Japan Air Self-Defense Force decided to adopt the F-15 as the successor to the F-104 fighter in 1976. Based on the F-15C, which had increased fuel capacity and reinforced landing gear, the J model, with its electronics and other modifications for the Japanese market, and the two-seat DJ model were license-produced by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. The external differences from the F-15C are the mass balances on both vertical stabilizers and the antenna on the underside of the nose, and the layout of the instrument panel was also partially changed. In March 1981, two McDonnell Douglas F-15J aircraft flew to Japan, and subsequently, knockdown production and license production took place, with 165 F-15J aircraft delivered by 1998. Beginning with the 202nd Squadron at Nyutabaru Air Base in 1982, which became the first unit to deploy the F-15J, eight squadrons have been equipped with the F-15J, and further updates to its electronics and engines are planned as it will continue to be a key component of Japan's defense. \u003cbr\u003e\r\n \u003cbr\u003e\r\n ■Product Specifications\u003cbr\u003e\r\n Manufacturer: Tamiya\u003cbr\u003e\r\n Item No: 60307\u003cbr\u003e\r\n Scale: 1\/32\u003cbr\u003e\r\n JAN: 4950344603077\u003cbr\u003e\r\n \u003cbr\u003e\r\n ■Remarks\u003cbr\u003e\r\n [Model Specifications]\u003cbr\u003eThis is a plastic model assembly kit that reproduces the F-15J Eagle, the main interceptor fighter of the Japan Air Self-Defense Force, in 1\/32 scale. ★Total length 605mm, total wingspan 408mm.
